7.3.1 Supply Voltage

The REF30 family of references features an extremely low dropout voltage. With the exception of the REF3012, which has a minimum supply requirement of 1.8V, the REF30 can be operated with a supply of only 1mV above the output voltage in an unloaded condition. For loaded conditions, a typical dropout voltage versus load is shown on the front page.

The REF30 features a low quiescent current that is extremely stable over changes in both temperature and supply. The typical room temperature quiescent current is 42μA, and the maximum quiescent current over temperature is just 59μA. Additionally, the quiescent current typically changes less than 2.5μA over the entire supply range, as shown in Figure 7-1.

Supply voltages below the specified levels can cause the REF30 to momentarily draw currents greater than the typical quiescent current. Use a power supply with a fast rising edge and low output impedance to easily prevent this issue.
